FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING..
Destruction of Woodshed, and Narrow
Escap. of a Church.


| About quarter to 3 yesterday morning
members of Engine Company No. saw a
| bright light, as of fire, in the vicinity OF
Sixth street, and the apparatus was imme-
diateiy brought out and started for that
locality. 1t was found that James McKay's
Sixth-street woodward, between K and L
streets, opposite the NJ. E. Church, was in
flames. Although the fire had evidently
been IN progress for several minstes, there
was scarcely any one to be seen. The fire
had been discovered short time prior to
the arrival of the engine, however, BY some
parties passing, who did not know where
an alarm box was located, and conse-
quently no alarm, except by outcry, was
gwen until after No. l was in service. Mr..
Mckay and one or two other men we're
asleep in the office of the woodward, and
the discoveries of the fire aroused them
by kicking in the door. The building
was an old one, loosely put together,
and burned like finder, the blaze spreading
SO rapidly that two Of the three horses in
the stable lost their lives, as also did Mr..
Mekay's dog; large wood wagon was
burned and buggy damaged The fire.
men were powerless to do more than pro-
tect adjacent property. The Presbyterian
Church, frame bdilding situated few
YARDS from the burning mass. was in great
danger, but escaped with slight damage to
the roof and the searching of its paint.
John Breuner's buildings, on the corner of
the alley, opposite the fire, were energeti-
cally protected by his employees, who got
hose upon the roof and turned the water
where 1t would do the most good until the
tiremen could come to the rescue. The
entire woodward building was DESTROYED,
together with considerable wood One OF
the horses lost, fine animal, belonged to
John Crayens, Waterman at the State
Capitol, and the other to Mr.. Mckay. The
latter had an insurance of $500 on his prop
erty, but estimates his loss at more than
double that figure. The building was
owned by Joseph Bauquier, ST., and was
insured for 500. 1t was not an ornament
in that portion of the city, and will proba-
bly, be replaced by something of better ap-
pearance. Much surprise has been ex-
pressed that the fire was not discovered
and an alarm given sooner. It appears
that the police officers on downtown beats |
saw the light, but thought it was further up
town, and did not turn in an alarm for fear
of misleading the firemen, and moment
arily expecting to hear the bell strike. The |
uptown officers thought the fire too far
down for them to give an alarm. None of
the force were within four or five blocks of
the fire. Captain Karcher says he passed
the woodward ten or fifteen minutes before
the fire broke out, and observed nothing
unusual

How is 1t to be Dome

Some one started report recently that
Governor Bartlett would probably resign if
his health should continue to be SO poor
that he could not attend to the duties of his
office. A correspondent writes the RECORD
UNION: am not assuming that it will
be necessary for Governor Bartlett to resign,
but the thought occurs to me, to whom
will be send his resignation? If the Leeis-
lature was in session, it would doubtless be
sent to that body but there will not be a
session for over sixteen months. The new
Constitution provides for filling the office
in case of the death OF the Executive, and
in case it otherwise becomes vacant but
the possibility of Governors resigning
does not appear to have occurred to the
trainers of the instrument Would it be
sufficient for the resignation to be sent to
the Secretary of State ?'' The question is
an interesting one, which possibly some
one learned in law and politics will an
swer.
